A graphic displays the same text as in the thread: Polarization is not the problem. And I am tired of being framed as a radical left extremist in service of a talking point that is missing the moment. The center of the spectrum of United States politics is meant to be the Constitution and the rule of law. And today it is under assault. The left and right are not migrating further apart. The right has launched off the edge of the chart. And the millions of people taking to the streets? We are not the far-left. We are laser-centered on our most fundamental Constitutional rights. The center is not meant to be compromised ever rightward into fascist dictatorship. You cannot negotiate with people who don't believe in a center at all. So if the center is really what you stand for, I have good news for you. Now is your time! The center is the largest it has ever been! Millions of dead-center Americans are as awake, as alert, as active as they have been in a generation. So join us! But understand this about the center. It is not the place for compromise.

Polarization is not the problem. And I am tired of being framed as a radical left extremist in service of a talking point that is missing the moment.

Minutes ago today the Trump regime abruptly cancelled citizenship ceremonies for several immigrants in Boston.

THEY CANCELLED CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES.

These immigrants followed every rule & did everything right—Trump banned them anyway. All are from Black & brown majority nations.

This Is Fascism.

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud.

Just unspeakable assholery.

Just sit with this information for a minute. Let it sink in.

Stagflation

The Fed Chair is describing stagflation but does not want to say the word.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be

Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kirsti Noem, Joseph Mazzara, Emil Bove, Drew Sargent, and everyone else involved in planning, executing, and obstructing justice around the CECOT imprisonments are responsible for Andry's torture and rape.

Each bears a share of the blame. Don't ever let them forget it.

🤔

Agreed!

Please call your Reps. We have to try, even if it seems unlikely that there are 4 Republicans with any shred of a soul left.

🤦🏼‍♀️ Facebook is so maddening!

Read his short 3-part thread. It really is that simple

Not only are ICE bounty hunters, who look more like criminals than law enforcement, abducting people from workplaces & off the street—we’re now seeing they’re being held in private detention centers w/some of the most deplorable conditions imaginable.

REPEAT: people are profiting from this cruelty.

I'm 55, Gen X, and this system doesn't work for me. I am *still* paying of student loans. I've worked since the age of 15, but I'll never be able to retire: one illness could wipe out all my (meager) savings. There's no social safety net, and we're expected to literally work ourselves to death.

this court says that allowing EPA to regulate carbon emissions is a "major question" that demands congressional debate. but allowing the president to, with a flick of the wrist, end a straightforward constitutional right is something that must be allowed to stand?

To Err Is Human, To Defy Bove-ine A bombshell whistleblower complaint sheds light on who in the Justice Department is allegedly driving open defiance of the courts

Credible whistleblower account that Bove, a Trump DOJ official, told staff attorneys they'd need to say "f*ck you" to courts & to lie in order to send migrants to El Salvador "no matter what." He's now nominated for lifetime appointment as fed judge. Tell your Senators to vote no & to investigate

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.”

So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances…

It was always a lie.

Read his whole thread. Iran didn't pose an imminent threat; Trump acted illegally & recklessly. Whether it's to distract us from disastrous domestic policy, to profit, or because he's been manipulated, who knows. Congress must deny authorization for this illegal war, then
IMPEACH.
CONVICT.
REMOVE.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Democrats condemn ‘sickening’ and ‘dictatorial’ forcible removal of senator Alex Padilla from Noem event in LA – live California governor Newsom joins number of Democrats in condemning removal of Padilla from homeland security secretary’s press briefing

Alex Padilla, a sitting US Senator from California, was forcibly removed, put on the ground, & handcuffed, for daring to ask a question at Kristi Noem's Homeland Security press briefing.

This is authoritarianism. Tyranny. If they'll do that a a Senator, imagine what they'll do to the rest of us. 😡

A screenshot of the description of brodiaea elegans on the calflora website

Purple cluster lily called brodiaea elegans growing in my yard in the California foothills, which is part of its native habitat

Here's another native plant that pops up in scattered spots around my property each Spring, amongst the weeds: a type of cluster lily called brodiaea elegans. 🌱

Ditto. When his personal ambitions line up to support the things I value, he can be very bold and effective, but I'm not kidding myself about his motivations or character.

They're going to lie and make up their reasons for escalating - they've already started. So stopping the protest is like obeying in advance, which we must not do.

Remember when Republicans were losing their minds about leaving Afghans who worked with US troops to be killed by the Taliban?

Well, Trump has revoked their asylum and is planning to send them back to be murdered.

😡

Oh wow, thank you for letting me know! I'll look into it

Dr. Swain is a well-respected climate science guy & has been crucial to firefighting in California; he's calm & measured, not a fear-monger or sensationalist. This is bad for wildfire preparedness/fighting & agriculture in CA, bad for long-haul trucking on I-80 in WY, bad for tornado tracking & more
